Sanaa and BryanA Wedding Retreat in Italy
Four days. Three nights. One unforgettable weekend.
Reserve Your SpotHow it started
Gili Air, Indonesia
Some love stories begin loudly.
Ours began unexpectedly.
Bryan first entered Sanaa's world through an online container she was facilitating. What started as conversations through a screen quickly revealed something neither of them had planned for -- an undeniable connection, effortless conversation, and a sense of alignment that felt difficult to ignore.
But neither of them were looking for this.
A few months later, they met in person for the first time in Gili Air, Indonesia during Sanaa's annual retreat -- a space centered around reflection, healing, presence, and connection. There was already chemistry between them before the trip, but being together on the island made something quietly clear: this connection was real.
Not rushed. Not perfect. But deeply felt.
There were practical questions, of course. Timing. Distance. The reality of building something meaningful from a connection that neither of them expected. But the more they leaned into honesty and intention, the more natural it all began to feel.
Their relationship was never built around performance. It was built around presence. Around conversations that stretched for hours. Around feeling deeply seen. Around choosing each other intentionally, again and again.
Then, one year later, under the moon and stars on a quiet beach in Gili Air, Bryan proposed on the same log where they had first acknowledged they were both ready to truly explore what this connection could become.
Bryan & Sanaa
To celebrate not just a wedding but the kind of love that changed them both.
So more than anything, they wanted this wedding to feel the same way their relationship has always felt: like a retreat. A space where people slow down. Connect deeply. Laugh loudly. Reflect honestly. And leave feeling a little more open-hearted than when they arrived.
Because that's what love has been for them.
We're celebrating at Villa Cariola on the hills above Lake Garda, Italy. A stunning 18th-century Venetian estate with panoramic terraces, lush gardens, and sweeping views of the lake. We're taking over the whole property for the weekend — every room, every space is ours.
Your only job is to show up. Everything else is handled.
Breakfast every morning, three dinners, and a farewell brunch. Open bar throughout the weekend. Round-trip shuttle from Verona included. Every detail handled, you just need to get yourself to Italy.

If you'd like to give
Your presence at this weekend is the gift — truly. We mean that. But for those who'd like to contribute something more, we have one ask.
We're building something together — a home, a family, a life. If you'd like to contribute to that next chapter, we've set up a fund for exactly that. No registry, no list. Just your love, put toward something that lasts.
"Your presence is the present. Everything else is extra."
